Nature's Storybook is my favorite of Webster's Pages fall releases. The rich colors in this collection are fabulous, from creams to violets to navy blues. The pallette is perfect for this picture of myself and my four cousins. It's not often that you are blessed with being very close to your family growing up and becoming wonderful friends as adults. I had to capture this "special bond" in our family.

I used the Martha Stewart doily punch to create a double layered photo mat. I have a suspicion that we might be seeing some more Martha Stewart punches, in the Shoppe's future. The patterned papers are rich with items to use as die cuts. I cut out several butterflies, bent up the wings and glued down for a dimensional embellishment. I grabbed several of the patterns and die cut a bunch of flowers adding some solid color flowers as well. As you can see, I didn't have any problem die cutting right through words or lines. It adds character to your flowers.

Once again Webster's Pages never fails to impress me.

How fitting that it's a Prima declared week here at Lil' Lambs Boutique. I just happened to finish up this Blue Stitched Prima Deluxe kit this week. I love the stitched background pages because it means less work for me.

This Prima kit was a perfect choice for this picture of my daughter with her beloved Dandelion (I know, I don't get it either). The yellow flowers in the kit were the perfect pop of color for the rest of the page. I haven't mentioned this yet but I really enjoy the Alpha Stickers. They come in quite handy when you want to have a longer title that you don't really want to cut out.

Instead of the usual Stickles centers I put on most flowers, I decided to snip a bit of the blue velvet trim and stick it under the clear pebble...wha-la, instant blue center. I also folded down a third of the platinum flower to create a smaller corner border for my photograph.

Here's a closer picture of that gorgeous lace trim. It always reminds me of the tablecloths my Great Grandmother had and we kids were never allowed to eat on.

Don't forget to take time for the small things this Christmas season!

If you haven't taken a look at the Winter Wings Deluxe Kit, well you should. This kit is packed chock full of Christmas goodies. Below, I have 3 different types of projects I created.

First up, I used the Bay Window MDF that ws included and created this Christmas gift. The Winter Wings paper have so many great border elements that can be cut down to size to fit the edges of the panels.

If you'll notice, I cut apart the gold flutter vine and added parts to each panel and used some of the leftover on my Christmas tag below.

Once you finish your Bay Window project, there are still plenty of leftovers to create some other things. I chose to use more of the fabulous patterns on the paper, the beautiful trim and flowers to create a card to go with the gift and a couple of Christmas tags.

Hurry, you still have some time left to get some Christmas gifts made.
